“Some of the best Indian food I’ve had in Rhode Island. I ordered takeout with butter chicken, Momo 65, and garlic naan, and everything was outstanding. The butter chicken was rich and flavorful, the Momo 65 was perfectly crispy and spicy, and the garlic naan was soft, buttery, and fresh. Even as takeout, the food was hot, well packaged, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the love that goes into it. Big thanks to Mahesh, the owner. This place is a true gem. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon”
Empire Special Chicken Curry
$17.84
Chicken curry made with Empire's chef-special blend of aromatic spices.
“I had a great experience at this new restaurant. The service was excellent and our server was very polite, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming. We started with the Momo 65 and Gobi Manchurian and both were flavorful, especially the Gobi Manchurian, which is hard to find done well. For entrées, we tried the Empire Special Chicken Curry, Malai Kofta, and Chicken Dum Biryani and all three dishes were delicious and full of rich, authentic flavors. I will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great service.”

“Empire Biryani & Grille is an absolute gem in Johnston. The food is consistently flavorful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The biryani is fragrant and perfectly spiced, with tender meat and generous portions. Their curries are rich and comforting, and the appetizers are a great way to start the meal. The atmosphere is modern and inviting, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, the quality is always top-notch. If you’re looking for excellent Indian cuisine with bold flavors and great service, Empire Biryani & Grille is a must-visit.”

“We went around noon. It’s cute and rustic inside. The workers were kind, patient, and helpful. The food was very flavorful! I had the tomato dal (spicy), butter naan, mango lassi, and tikka skewers. I tried my dad’s mango shrimp dish and that was delicious as well. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. Apparently they do buffets on Sundays. Will definitely be back with my family :)”

“This place is SO good. I haven’t had Indian food in quite some time but after seeing a yummy food post on instagram, my boyfriend and I decided to stop in. First of all, our server was so sweet & was absolutely amazing and attentive. We ordered the samosas for appetizers and the Nan bread and wow! Mouth watering. After ward I had the curry shrimp while my boyfriend had the chicken Mandelu - both come with white basmati rice. Very fluffy and delicious. Everything came out hot and DELICIOUS! We will definitely be back.”
